How the War in the Streets Is Won: Poems on the Quest of Love and Faith

Literature & Fiction

Early, Gerald

Poetry

Time Being Books

This book is divided into four sections dealing, respectively, with street violence, prizefighting, jazz, and family. Together they form an American spiritual odyssey from a beginning of violence, despair, disillusion, and alienation to a closing about family, love, and hope. What distinguishes these poems is that, though told by a black American, they are neither about race nor racial self-consciousness but rather about the common joys and dilemmas we all share as Americans. Early's poetry, universal in its voice, portrays one man's journey to an understanding of his own life and the larger collection of lives that has made his own possible.
